Whether it be just one more game or 16 more games, one thing about the remainder of this postseason will be different from last year’s magical run: No Daniel Gibson. Boobie will probably miss the rest of these playoffs with a separated left...

:(. That was a really, really, really tough game to lose. Especially considering how well LeBron played in the first half and how well the team did in the first half. I was thinking at halftime: “All we need to do is step up offensively and...

Remember one of the “key stats” from Game 4? The team that has won the rebounding battle had won each of the first four games of this Eastern Conference semifinal series. That trend continued Wednesday night in Game 5 (disturbingly,...

You had to love Boston faithful Bill Simmons’ article this morning on ESPN.com. If you didn’t, then you’re just not a fan of sports and/or sports writing. Cavs fans may be more upset about the fact that the turnaround in this...

On Tuesday, I sent an email to the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Terry Pluto about this piece that he wrote on Monday before Game 4. Pluto spent a lot of time explaining the way contracts work in the NBA and how it would be very difficult for a...

Who’s the “f***ing f***ot” now?

Oh, hell yes. Oh, HELL YES. Make no mistake: This was not the Cavaliers getting hot from three with random role players. This is not LeBron James willing his providence upon a lost cause and saving it from the throes of certain doom. This is not a...

Are you really surprised that this series is following the same path as each of the last two playoff matchups with Detroit? In this knee-jerk NBA, the Cavs were left for dead after absorbing a 16-point beating at Boston on Thursday night. Down 0-2,...

That’s how Game 3’s usually work. Not all of them result in the home team whipping the visitors by over 20 points, but it’s definitely something I like to call the “pep rally effect.” The underdogs return home after...

You’ve probably seen those Coors Light NFL press conference commercials where random drunk party guys with absolutely no press credentials or business being there ask coaches random questions that have nothing to do with football. ...

Boy, it’s an easy game when you make your shots, isn’t it? Whatever Infection Ben Wallace Has, Everyone Else Needs To Get. Seriously, everyone on the team should be drinking from his water bottle. Big Ben continued his reign as the...

The Cavaliers were only 27-14 at home during the regular season. The Boston Celtics, however, were 31-10 away from the Garden. Maybe those are nothing but numbers. But for the Cavs’ sake, their luck better change when they return back home to...

On Friday afternoon, I was listening to “The Dan Patrick Show” in my car on my way to class. Of course, the headline topic at the start of DP’s show was the Cavs-Celtics series and the disappointing disaster that has been LeBron...

It looks like LeBron James was right. He couldn’t play any worse than he did on Tuesday night. Going from 11.1 percent shooting to 25 percent is, technically, an improvement. While Paul Pierce and Ray Allen got back into the swing of things...

LeBron James said that on Wednesday, a day after what might arguably be the most dreadful playoff game of his career. There were 16 missed shots compared to just two that found the bottom of the net. The final field goal percentage read “11.1...
